"No, but yes, because it's a different unnamed party than the one I imagine you intended"?

Would be nice, but I think since (a-e) weren't in that line and that (g) is directly addressing that, that would be incredibly bad wording.

Regardless, I can imagine there are some products with 'essential functions' which require the channel that could be DDOSd, no?

My stance here is that it's very broad, and I think it's easy to create an exploitable system from these directives. But unfortunately the problem is real and the mitigations complex. I was buying into this initially because of that, it seems reasonable without much thought on what the exact solutions look like, which I think makes it more dangerous.

If other engineering fields have seen this process, and the involved regulatory bodies have stayed independent of large corporate interests, I guess we should have a good shot. But with my lack of knowledge on that topic, I hold some trepidation for the future of smaller software shops and individual developers.

And the work he's talking about: https://paperswithcode.com/paper/world-of-bits-an-open-domai...

I'm poorly informed regarding breakups of this kind, and I don't have the experience/research to assess the infra costs of a streaming service like Prime video. Assuming the hosting costs are a significant portion of their expenditure, what would it look like in a breakup, what kind of deal would they be able to get from the newly spun off AWS?

"Those MLM videos dont represent real startup/tech culture"

For the record, I agree with you.

Out of season produce in Netherlands has greatly increased in price

Serious? Would like some elaboration if you can :)

It reminds me of how narrow roads are sometimes used to slow traffic, though I dont know if its effective here. Im hesitant to discourage it when the language is so explicit about it being bad, it might be quite effective afaict

I get you, just following orders, I earnestly empathize.

I wonder how powerless software people really are in this context, how much effective oversight others have over us in these matters, where there's sometimes a significant human cost. Just a thought.

Great read, thanks for linking it

Is running untrusted programs in a VM actually safe? Are they sufficiently secure that it's not trivial to escape one if that's the expected scenario?

How can fact checking be better facilitated as tech develops? It seems like a distinct social issue to me, one that I imagine requires verification from people with reputation (which could be aided by improved social networks probably). Id be very interested to hear if you have other ideas, as you seem optimistic on this front and would like to share in that :)

I feel like the 3 youre missing there is something along the lines of "people enjoy social validation and internet points, to the extent that pretty shit content thats low effort is something we enjoy generating"

"Everyone should embrace escapism to feel good, not to not feel like shit."

Im also a bit lost regarding its value

Its nice to attempt to define positive vs negative escapism, I wonder how solid their definition is. If someone has anxiety and they run because it brings relief, their definition would seemingly classify that as maladaptive escapism, or self suppression. I dont know if that goes against mental wellbeing, or rather, if theres a better route. Looking forward to read the comments here

Does it not? Try framing it more charitably. Someone suffers or will suffer or simply misses out on something you know theyd greatly appreciate because of their behaviour, if you love them will you ignore it? Or will you, while showing respect, endeavour to prompt or support their changing?

I think there are good and bad ways to express this, and I think the feeling itself isnt intuitive.

Why is sibling black_'s comment dead when they just provided an anecdote backing the parent comment? Or is the 1% talk controversial here?

That didn't seem to be the implication. Carmacks name carries weight, and we're talking about navigating beurocracy and politics. My own thoughts and opinions tell me that they don't matter in those two domains

I'm still super into this as it is, without considering real growth on the tech side. It's dumb but I think it's still useful.

It'll be crazy when it replaces us but for the moment I've been using it to learn and explore (C, some linux tools, game dev in lisp) and the results are surprising - and we're looking at the newest tech demo, as you say what will it look like in a few years? Even just give some app devs some years with it and I'm excited to see the results

You're right, poking fun is serious business

yep, distasteful jokes are worth being hauled off for

I really respected your post, I like the recognition of behaviours that can cause obesity as being common across other types of addiction. I also like the parent your responding to though, because while you make an insightful point, it's helpful to keep it grounded. You have the sense for the parents post to feel obvious, but I think others do overcomplicate it.

The function can be simple math, and the factors psychologically/emotionally difficult to deal with. Recognizing that is not lessening the struggle, from where I'm standing

>> I think we're getting close to strong AI there though, so I don't see it happening any time soon.

It's unclear which clause is meant to be negative or positive here. If we're close to strong AI, systems which ask clarifying questions would be close as well, no?

Is the linked paper "Presence or absence of stabilizing Earth system feedbacks on different time scales" correct for the title?

https://www.reddit.com/r/F91Ws_on_NATOs/ It's a pretty common mod, the sidebar describes the process and mentions using 18mm nato straps, though apparently you might want to grind a little off the back of the lug to make it fit better. It also mentions using a paperclip or some other pin to get the spring bar out, so it doesn't seem like it requires much.

Disagree that its far worse, I dont see an issue in this case

What is a DR system?

Maybe youre right about them pursuing engagement for its own sake, maybe they're not in that game.

Though, whatever approach you have in discovery, or ranking posts, you're having an impact on your users, and promote a certain dynamic, no? I imagine their next approach won't be the equivalent of letting go of the steering wheel, just maybe not mindlessly chasing the same metrics as they are currently.

Maybe that's a little too social psych to call tech/engineering, but I imagine the data science that would support that would be quite exciting.

So ads.. as much as I dislike the industry, that's also an eng intensive task, right, as you attempt to predict user tendencies, raise engagement by showing the right shit, capture more data, and engage in the bot arms race.
